BACKGROUND
----------
The Bible frequently uses the phrase ON THE FACE OF.
* Normally this phrase idiomatically means ON
* However when used with people: ON THE FACE OF SO & SO
  it means DURING HIS LIFETIME

EXAMPLE
-------
Gn11-28 Charan died ON THE FACE of this father
RASHI: This means: Charan died DURING HIS fathers LIFETIME

THE LIST
--------
Although the phrase ON THE FACE OF occurs many times in the
Bible, the phrase ON THE FACE OF SO AND SO only occurs a
handful of times. In each of these cases, except one, Rashi
comments.*1
